Factors Affecting the Development and Hatching of Eggs and the Survival of Infective Larvae of <i>Haemonchus contortus</i> in Laboratory Condition

Abstract: Haemonchus contortus Rudolphi, 1803, a blood-sucking worm living in abomasum, poses possibly the greatest threat to the livestock production. Here, we studied the effects of various environmental and nutritional factors on the development and hatching of eggs, development and survival of larvae of H. contortus. We incubated eggs at different temperature gradients, humidity and pH in phosphate buffer saline (PBS), tap water (TW) and normal saline (NS) using serum and/or liver extract at different concentrations… Show more

“…Sommerville and Murphy (1983) support this observation and interpret as it might be due to coagulation of germinal mass of the eggs due to high acidic pH level of the media. Ashad et al, (2011) andStringfellow (1986) also found that maximum hatching of eggs and development of Trichostrongylus spp. larvae occurred at pH 6.0-7.0 which also support the present observation.…”

“…The primary factors that affect the hatching of freeliving helminth eggs are temperature and humidity [2], though these conditions vary among different parasite species. Other important environmental factors contributing to the hatching and survival of helminths include pH, light, and nutrients [3]. In addition to the effect of environmental and parasitic factors in the hatching process, the host interactions with the parasite or immunity can also impose severe restrictions on this process [4][5][6].…”

“…In the environment where the host lives, the favorable temperature and relative humidity have been recognized as the important abiotic factor related to the parasite prevalence. The ideal temperature range for larval development is between 22 and 26°C usually (Ashad et al, 2011), but the Trichuris sp. infecting the alpacas and goats is in higher prevalence in temperature group of 0 < T ≤ 10°C.…”
